When the force applied to a particular place of the body exceeds the pressure that the capillaries there can withstand, a pressure ulcer will develop. In some circumstances, even a negligibly little pressure may be sufficient to obstruct blood flow and reduce oxygenation of the surrounding tissues. In patients who are extremely unwell, this can result in the development of a pressure ulcer in as little as two to six hours To assess knowledge, attitudes, and barriers among critical-care nurses on pressure ulcer prevention with their demographical variables A non-probability (purposive) sampling of (130) nurses working in the intensive care unit has been conducted. The study employed The researcher employed a 30-item self-administrated questionnaire to gauge nurses' level of expertise in pressure ulcer prevention. Age, gender, degree of education, years of experience, and specific guidelines for pressure ulcers were among the features of the study subjects. The 5-point scale was utilized in the attitudes and barriers questionnaire. However, the scoring mechanism for the Likert scale model is not much different from the three-point scales, with greater scores going to attitudes with higher levels of positivity and obstacles. The current study features a descriptive cross-sectional quantitative design. The study has been carried out between the 1st of November 2022 and the 1st of June 2023 to the assessment of nurses’ knowledge attitude and barriers toward pressure ulcers in critical care units at Al Najaf hospitals.

Diabetes in adolescence is a global public health issue that is getting more and more attention. It is a long-term metabolic condition defined by a partial or total lack of the hormone insulin. The key to effective control of diabetes is adherence to the complicated collection of chores that go into diabetic self-care practices. The adolescents spend (5-6) hours in school and during this time they are outside of parental care, so we need to monitor self-care practices of students with T1D. The aim of the study was to find out the relationship between self-care practices of secondary school students with type 1 diabetes mellitus and their sociodemographic data. Methods A descriptive (cross sectional) research design was used in this study. Sample size consist of (200) secondary school students. A non-probability (purposive) technique was used to collect data. Developed interview instrument was used in collect data. Data was gained in the al najaf center for diabetic and endocrine.

Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells.
The study was carried out by choosing 250 patients who visited the National Cancer Teaching Hospital were chosen for a non-probability sampling technique (purposive sample) based on standards for treatment, follow-up, or both. The study's results showed that significant partial satisfaction with care among patients is consistent with our hypothesis about hospital healthcare services. Medical services and public facilities are among the most important things that determine and affect people’s satisfaction. Women are more likely to get cancer and breast cancer is the most common type.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is identified as one of the most common hormonal disturbances that can affect females in their reproductive period, having significant implications on fertility observable during the reproductive span and post-menopause (Hanan et al., 2020). This study was designed to decipher the relationship between PCOS and the polymorphism of the aromatase gene at the rs700519 locus along with certain biochemical variables. The research comprised 50 blood samples from women afflicted with PCOS and 25 samples from non-afflicted women, spanning an age range of 16 to 45 years. Additionally, the study involved exploring the polymorphisms of the aromatase gene (CYP19A1) concerning SNPs rs700519 in both afflicted and non-afflicted women. The electrophoretic analysis of the PCR product on a 1% agarose gel for the aromatase gene (CYP19A1) indicated the presence of three genetic patterns (GG, GA, AA). The allele frequency for the aromatase gene SNP CYP19A1 (rs700519) in women with and without PCOS revealed values of 0.49 and 0.54 for the G allele, and 0.51 and 0.46 for the A allele, respectively. The genetic patterns did not exhibit any significant predisposition, with an Odds Ratio (OR) of 0.818 for the mutant A allele at the CYP19A1 rs700519 locus
多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)被认为是最常见的激素紊乱之一，可影响女性的生殖期，对生殖期和绝经后的生育能力有显著影响(Hanan et al.， 2020)。本研究旨在解读PCOS与rs700519位点芳香化酶基因多态性以及某些生化变量之间的关系。该研究包括50份患有多囊卵巢综合征的女性血样和25份未患多囊卵巢综合征的女性血样，年龄从16岁到45岁不等。此外，该研究还探讨了与rs700519 snp相关的芳香化酶基因(CYP19A1)在患病和非患病女性中的多态性。芳香化酶基因(CYP19A1)的PCR产物在1%琼脂糖凝胶上的电泳分析表明，存在GG、GA、AA三种遗传模式。芳香化酶基因SNP CYP19A1 (rs700519)在PCOS女性和非PCOS女性中的等位基因频率分别为0.49和0.54,A等位基因的等位基因频率分别为0.51和0.46。在CYP19A1 rs700519位点突变A等位基因的比值比(OR)为0.818，遗传模式没有表现出任何显著的易感性

Follicle stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR-gene) is the most studied genetic factor in women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Here, the prevalence of -29 variant of FSHR and the expression level in Granulosa cells in PCOS women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) was investigated. The genotype was studied in 100 PCOS patients and 100 healthy controls undergoing IVF. Moreover, the total RNA was extracted from granulose cells in 30 PCOS patients and 20 healthy controls. The results suggested that GA haplotype of -29 of FSHR appeared more frequent in PCOS patients and might play a role in genetic susceptibility to PCOS. Likewise, the expression of FSHR at mRNA level was reduced in subjects with AA haplotype of -29, as compared with the GG genotype. Also, the expression of mRNA in granulosa cells was upregulated in PCOS patients. Our findings demonstrated a statistically significant association between haplotype of -29 of FSHR with PCOS.

Breast cancer is the most common crucial cancer in women worldwide. The tumor marker Carcinoma Antigen 15-3 is frequently used for screening and monitoring breast cancer. Carcinoma antigen 15–3 (CA15-3) is used to monitor the prognosis for patients after treatment. This study aims to estimate the level of serum tumor marker CA15-3 in different age groups. Participants women diagnosed with breast cancer living in Iraq were admitted to the Middle East lab (private lab), Al-Harthia city. The study involves 176 females aged from 30 to 80 years. Data was collected from the period between March to November 2021. An automated electrochemistry luminescence immunoassay system (ROCHE E170, Germany) measured serum CA15-3 levels. When the CA15-3 marker level was above or below the cut-off value of 25 U/mL, the marker was counted positive or negative. The current study reveals that CA15-3 in the age group between (33-39) was the highest in 39 years (27.7 U/ml). Furthermore, 47 years exhibited the highest level of CA15-3 (150 U/ml) among (40-49 years) category. Meanwhile, 55 years participants showed the highest level of CA15-3 (101 U/ml) in (50-59 years) age group. 66 years old, on the other hand, showed an elevated level of CA15-3 (72 U/ml) compared to other participants in the (60-69) age group.
